[hackers] [slstatus][PATCH] add ALSA volume support

Dear fellow hackers,

Let me suggest this patch that adds native ALSA capability to slstatus.
I hope that it is not too far against suckless philosophy to introduce
an optional dependency on a small system library.

To use, add -DALSA to CPPFLAGS, -lasound to LDFLAGS and pass the
control name (e.g. Master) as argument to vol_perc in config.h.
